The teacher appointed will be required to teach Mathematics to mixed ability classes aged 11 - 16 years. You will need to be well versed in the National Curriculum and the accompanying assessment procedures (SATs), and have recent and relevant experience in the teaching of GCSE Mathematics. ICT skills related to Mathematics would be an advantage. The ability to act independently and take sole responsibility for this subject area is essential, as you will be the only Mathematics teacher in the secondary sector.

Timetable allocations - in each year group students currently have 3 hours of Mathematics a week.

A number of our students require additional support to help improve their numeracy levels and you will be responsible for identifying and planning the programmes to help achieve this.

In addition all secondary school staff either teach a second subject or provide support for students in other lessons. Ability to offer Business Studies, PE, PSHCE would be a particular advantage. As we can be flexible please indicate clearly additional second subjects you are confident to teach.

We also offer evening classes to the community. The subjects offered are as a result of demand from the community and all staff are expected to contribute to the programme when there is the requirement to do so. Staff are paid overtime at an hourly rate of £15 for these.

In your application you should clearly state your philosophy of education and also specify and curriculum strengths you could offer to the school. We look forward to hearing from you in the near future.
